Stampers' Sampler Guest Artist

Yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!! Its my name on the front cover!!!!! Even more suprisingly my name fits onto the front cover!! lol

I can't believe it's me! I made Guest Artist in the latest issue of Stamper's Sampler (Dec/Jan 09). I haven't felt this elated about my work since first getting a card published in a readers gallery competition when I first started out.

Christen Olivarez was very complimentary in her Editor's Letter about me and also in the introduction to the article itself, which consists of four pages of artwork and a page of interview.

Have I said I'm excited!!!!!!!

LOL :0)

Here are one or two pieces from the article, which were created almost a year ago now, so my overall style has changed a little. I hope you enoy it if you manage to get hold of a copy.

Stampington did a superb job with the photography and layout, especially with the two I've shown that I took myself (above). I found them very tricky to capture with all their elements with my little camera, but if you get the magazine you'll get to see better shots. Thankyou very much indeed.

Fandazzydozzy!!!!That is so wonderful, but Jo you totally deserve the limelight as your creations are stunningly awesome!It is great that you are getting the recognition you so deserve.These are just amazing pieces I love them to bits.Big hugskim xxx

Oh, brilliant Jo - and so well-deserved. Your work is always truly inspiring and a feast for the eyes. It's so good to have you posting on your blog again now you've settled in your new home too.Shall have to get hold of this issue!

Congratulations!! You totally deserve it, your work is absolutely amazing! I wish I could get my hands on a copy. Another downside to living in a smaller city!! I love coming here to get inspired and see your newest creations!

I loved the veiled woman you did for the latest Stampers Sampler. Can you actually tell me how you colored her? I mean the translucent quality of the veil, the white highlights and what inks. It is a super job!
